Sweeps and Sculls Rowing Sweeps and Sculls OFFICIAL SERVICE: ATHENS 2004 BEIJING 2008 LONDON 2012 RIO 2016 MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY BRAČA-SPORT® mission and philosophy is to design, develop and produce the best performing scull and sweep oars for every rower and crew. Our scull and sweep oars have been designed using the latest technologies available, inspired by the comments and in collaboration with some of the world’s most successful rowers and coaches. All our product designs are based on the modular platform. BRAČA-SPORT® framework of the separate components forming homogeneous unit has been extensively researched and tested and has been proven to be the very best available method for strength, balance, durability and overall ‘in water’ performance. We were the first to develop a unique blade molding system to protect the internal foam from water penetration and provide extra strength and rigidity to the oar. This exclusive high quality system provides maximum durability and outstanding impact protection in comparison to conventional composite blades which have exposed foam core on the open edge and are vulnerable to damage and the inevitable penetration of water. Our seamless ‘fitted into the shaft’ blade design provides the best possible connection between the blade and the shaft enabling them to work as one homogenous unit. All BRAČA-SPORT® blades meet and exceed current FISA safety standards. As of today BRAČA-SPORT® is still the only oar manufacturer to engineer and produce its own carbon fabrics. This provides the ability to produce a very specific and fine grain unidirectional high modulus carbon (HMC) fabric layers in contrast to what is available in the market. The diverse range of specific and fine grain materials is the key improvement enabler of the oar’s performance characteristics.

The highly-accurate and sophisticated computational hydrodynamic analysis allows us to simulate fluid flow physics in real rowing conditions, run many what-if scenarios, and quickly analyze the effects of fluid flow and related forces on the scull and sweep oar blade components. This analysis enables us to virtually get inside the design and see how it performs. It gives us a deeper insight into blade designs and provides comprehensive data on many phenomena, which wouldn’t be visible through any other means such as experimental tests. In addition the process allows predicting what will happen under a given set of circumstances. We predict how the design will perform, and test hundreds of variations until we arrive at an optimal result for the best oar. Introduced stiffness and strength laboratory tests for shafts. Evaluation of limit state under extreme loading conditions allow select manufacturing technologies to produce high strength structures. In “Strength of materials” laboratory at Kaunas University of Technology the mechanical tests and characterization has been performed by testing new structures of shafts. Furthermore BRAČA-SPORT® results are independently validated by one of the leading European Universities - Kaunas University of Technology.

TME max The key performance factor of BRAČA-SPORT® oar is the revolutionary “Mechanical Energy” concept. The shaft has the ability to store elastic potential energy during the first part of drive and release it starting from the middle of the 0 stroke in a controlled manner, providing maximum ac- TME TME celeration to the boat. Generation Release The mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (potential energy). There are two forms of potential energy: gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy. This sum is simply referred to as the total mechanical energy (TME).

  • Wandering Religious Poets in India, Tibet, and Japan
    This book consists of seven chapters on the subject Songs on the Road of poetry and itinerancy within the religious Songs on the Road traditions of India, Tibet, and Japan from ancient to modern times. The chapters look, each from Wandering Religious Poets in India, Tibet, and Japan a different angle, at how itinerancy is reflected in religious poetry, what are the purposes of the wanderers’ poems or songs, and how the wandering poets relate to local communities, Edholm (Eds.) af Larsson & Kristoffer Stefan sacred geography, and institutionalized religion. We encounter priest-poets in search of munificent patrons, renouncers and yogins who sing about the bliss and hardship of wandering alone in the wilderness, Hindu pilgrims and opponents of pilgrimage, antinomian Buddhist-Tantric poets from Bengal, and the originator of the haiku. We are led along roads travelled by many, as well as paths tread by few.

  • Adaptive Rowing Equipment Guidance
    Adaptive Rowing Equipment Guidance Introduction Adaptive Rowing uses equipment that is adapted to enable the individual to take part in the sport. The way people adapt to their disability is an individual process. Two rowers with the same disability may require completely different equipment modifications, so it is important to work with athletes to determine what is optimal to enhance their rowing activity. Personal equipment – something that the rower wears designed to enhance body function such as a prosthetic limb or orthosis . Activity-specific equipment – designed to enhance the performance of an activity or participation in rowing, such as a postural support seat, pontoons, strapping or hand-gloves Boats The following are examples of the types of boats used in Adaptive Rowing. In addition to this, clubs are encouraged to use standard equipment that they have in their boathouse and not allow Adaptive Rowing specific boats to be a barrier to the inclusion of individuals with a disability. British Rowing adopts the FISA Para-Rowing system of classification which places rowers into classes according to how much their impairment impacts their rowing. 1 In addition to this, British Rowing offers Adaptive Rowing classes which is a categorisation for individuals who are not eligible to meet the FISA requirements for Para-Rowing classification. These classes are accepted at competitions that offer Adaptive Rowing events. For further explanation please read the following – Applying for Classification PR3 and AR3 For athletes classified in the PR3 and AR3 category, standard equipment that complies with British Rowing Rules of Racing is generally used. No further restrictions shall apply.

  • Catalyst N34 Apr 200
    Catalyst Journal of the Amateur Yacht Research Society Number 34 April 2009 How to supply information for publication in Catalyst: The Best way to send us information:- an electronic (ascii) text tile (*.txt created in Notepad, or Word, with no formatting at all, we format in Catalyst styles). Images (logically named please!) picture files (*.jpg, gif, or *.tif). If you are sending line drawings, then please send them in the format in which they were created, or if scanned as *.tif (never as JPEGs because it blurs all the lines) Any scanned image should be scanned at a resolution of at least 300 ppi at the final size and assume most pictures in Catalyst are 100 by 150mm (6 by 4 inches). A digital photograph should be the file that was created by the camera. A file from a mobile phone camera may be useful. Leave them in colour, and save them as example clear_and_complete_title.jpg with just a bit of compression. If you are sending a CD, then you can be more generous with the file sizes (less compression), than if emailing, and you can then use *.tif LZW- compressed or uncompressed format. For complex mathematical expressions send us hardcopy or scan of text with any mathematical characters handwritten (we can typeset them), but add copious notes in a different colour to make sure that we understand. WE can also process MS Equation and its derivatives. Include notes or instructions (or anything else you want us to note) in the text file, preferably in angle brackets such as <new heading>, or <greek rho>, or <refers to image_of_jib_set_badly.jpg>.

  • Stitching a Set of Oar Leathers by Robin Lincoln Photographs by Sherry Streeter
    Stitching a Set of Oar Leathers By Robin Lincoln Photographs by Sherry Streeter Posted: December 10, 2012 Tags: Oar Leathers, stitching, sewn-on This article originally appeared in WB No. 127 (November/December 1995). We present it again here to augment our coverage of dinghies in the Getting Started in Boats supplement bound into WB No. 230. –Eds. Sewn-on oar leathers are a simple and elegant way to protect fine wooden oars from chafing in their oarlocks. Sewn leather can be easily removed to allow painting or varnishing of the oars or replacement due to wear. Tacked-on leathers, on the other hand, may allow moisture to penetrate the wood, thus making them susceptible to rot along their row of fastenings. A bit of preparation is required before you begin the process of attaching oar leathers. First, you need to find a suitable piece of leather. Oiled shoulder from a leather shop works well or, alternatively, some marine outfitters sell oar leather kits. You’ll want a thick, pliable, easily bent piece. If it’s too thin or stretchy, it won’t hold its shape and might tear during the sewing. The width of the piece of leather, of course, depends upon the circumference of the oar’s loom. Generally, a length of 12- 24″ is adequate for one leather; use the shorter end of this range if the oars are to be used in only one boat, and the longer one if the oars are to be used in a variety of boats. Also, if you need to protect against over-the-stern sculling, then a longer oar leather should be used.
